Abstract

An LDMOS device includes a gate which is formed on and/over over a substrate; a source and a drain which are arranged to be separated from each other on both sides of the substrate with the gate interposed therebetween; and a field oxide film formed to have a step between the gate and the drain. The LDMOS device further includes a drift region formed of first conduction type impurity ions between the gate and the drain in the substrate; and at least one internal field ring formed in the drift region by selectively implanting a second conduction type impurity in accordance with the step of the field oxide film.

Claims (24)

1. A method of manufacturing an LOMOS device which has a source and a drain arranged to be separated from each other on both sides of a substrate with a gate interposed there between, the method comprising:

implanting first conduction type impurity ions into the first regions of the substrate forming first conduction type impurity regions in the substrate, wherein a second region of the substrate remains undoped and the undoped second region includes a first portion on which the source is to be formed and at least one second portion positioned between the first portion and a on which the drain is to be formed;

forming an oxide film on the first regions of the substrate through an oxidation process;

performing an impurity implantation process with the oxide film as an ion implantation mask to implant second conduction type impurity ions into the second region forming a second conduction type impurity region at the first portion and at least one second conduction type impurity ring at the at least one second portion;

removing the oxide film and performing a thermal process on the semiconductor substrate,

forming

i) a first conduction type deep well serving as a drift region of the LOMOS device from the first conduction type impurity region in the substrate,

ii) a second conduction type well connected to the drift region from the a second conduction type impurity region at the first portion, and

iii) at least one internal field ring in the drift region from the at least one second conduction type impurity ring at the at least one second portion;

and then forming a field oxide film on the substrate above the at least one internal field ring.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of implanting the first conduction type impurity ions comprises:

forming an insulating film over the substrate,

forming a photoresist pattern over the substrate;

patterning the insulating film exposed through the photoresist pattern,

implanting the first conduction type impurity ions,

and then removing the photoresist pattern.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the insulating film is a silicon nitride.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein, in the step of forming the oxide film, an oxidation process is performed using the patterned insulating film to form the oxide film.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein, in the step of implanting the second conduction type impurity ions, the patterned insulating film is removed and the second conduction type impurity ions are implanted through an impurity ion implantation process with the oxide film as an ion implantation mask.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the insulating film is a silicon nitride.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in said forming at least one internal field ring in the drift region, the internal field ring is formed below the field oxide film formed between a source fingertip portion of the source and the drain.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in said implanting the second conduction type impurity ions, a dosage amount of the second conduction type impurity ions or an ion implantation energy is controlled to control the concentration in the drift region.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in said forming the field oxide film, the field oxide film is formed through a Local Oxidation of Silicon process.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal field ring includes a plurality of internal field rings spaced apart from each other under the field oxide film.
